We have a new party place this year! The party will be held in Aulanko, Hämeenlinna at Aulangon Suuri Huvila. The new location is conveniently located close (-ish) to Hämeenlinna center, about 6km away.
There will be your usual Finnish demoparty features, like a few computer places, sauna, palju, lake to drown swim in. More details later (maybe).
Because the party place is located by a lake and sound travels quite well over water, we ask that you try not to make excessive noise outside during the night. Normal speech and some music over your small bluetooth speaker is probably fine, but use some common sense. We'd like to not get banned from the party place for 2022 :)
There will be some sleeping places at the party place, but the space is very limited. There's a few beds and sofas available and we'll reserve them to organizers and visitors who need them the most. In addition to that, there are no assigned sleeping areas but you can still sleep at the party place if you want. There's also room for tents. Scandic Aulanko hotel is pretty close to the party place, only about 2.5km away and Hämeenlinna center with even more hotels is not that far.
If you want a bed/sleeping spot at the party place, please let the organizers know and we'll see what we can do.
If you are sleeping at the party place, bring your own bedding. That's mandatory and won't be provided by the organizers.
Because the pandemic is still very much on, there will be a limited amount of tickets for sale (pending official recommendations for events). We will do our best to keep the party Covid-safe. If you have any symptoms, STAY AT HOME (there will be more parties when you're healthy). The good news is that every Finnish person should have at least one dose of a vaccine by the end of August.
You can join us on the Official Jumalauta Discord Server or #jumalauta on IRCnet to join the party remotely.
Remote entries are allowed for all official compos. Submit your remote entry to jumalauta15v@gmail.com before the remote entry deadline.
We will set up streaming at least for all the compo blocks and possibly some of the other program. See party schedule for times.
We will link to the stream here when we have more details.
